220 trends on the radar · last cast 4 min ago

Hook what's
rising.

Hookline's crew watches TikTok, YouTube, Google Trends and Hacker News around the clock. It scores what's climbing, writes the first line that stops the scroll, and cuts the video. You decide how much it posts on its own.

Free. Runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT. No card needed.

    Write

    Critic score 8 of 10 or it's rewritten

    About 20 seconds a video

    Voiceover with word-timed captions, stock or AI footage behind the type, a music bed, and a vertical 1080 by 1920 file ready for TikTok, Shorts and Reels.
